- Motion reference: S5M-04645
That the Parliament is very concerned at the reports that another person has resigned from the independent review group that was established by the Scottish Government to look at the safety of mesh implants; understands that the consultant, who does not wish to be named, stepped down following the revelation that an entire chapter of the final report had been removed, and believes that this report has been completely undermined by what it sees as manipulation of the evidence provided.
